Demonstrators disperse during the protest for Amini, who died in a hospital in the capital Tehran on Friday. AFP
The crowd chanted 'Death to the dictator', meaning Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while some women took off their headscarves.  AFP

In recent months, rights activists have urged women to remove their veils in public, a gesture that would risk their arrest for defying a dress code as the country's rulers crack down on 'immoral behaviour'.  AP
Iranians protest in Sanandaj, the capital of Iran's Kurdistan province, following the Amini's death while in custody.  AFP
Iranian police officers clash with demonstrators in Tehran. Police said Amini fell into a coma as she waited with other detained women at a morality police station, rejecting allegations that she was probably beaten. AFP
